Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1912.

Application filed April 27, 1912. Serial No. 693,672.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL RmDL, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Kufstein, in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Suspenders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for attaching curtains to the curtain rods which is constructed in such a manner that the delicate tissue of which the curtains are made is not damaged. This curtain suspender further permits of rapidly and easily attaching the curtains to the curtain rods.

The curtain suspender is made of wire which is bent in a particular manner so that it forms a hook or ring at the upper end to be fixed upon the curtain rod and which carries two clamping bars at the lower end between which the curtain is clamped in.

In the accompanying drawings the invention is shown.

Figure 1 shows the curtain suspender in front elevation partly in longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the suspender partly in cross section. Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of Fig. 1.

The curtain suspender is made of two -wires of which one is bent so that it forms a hook a and two lateral arms 6, which have eyes 0 and are bent to form two downwardly projecting arms 03. These arms 61 are connected at the lower ends by a clamping bar 6. In the eyes a of the lateral arms 5 a second wire f is arranged the ends of which are bent at right angles so that they form downwardly projecting arms 9 which are connected at their lower ends by a clamping bar it which is parallel with the first mentioned. clamping bar 6. The curtain is clamped in between these clamping bars 6 and h.

The downwardly projecting arms (Z and g respectively are bent inward at 70 whereby notches are formed which are designed to receive a shackle c. This shackle i can be lifted out of the notches as the downwardly projecting arms cl 9 are elastic. When the shackle 2' engages with the notches 1" the curtain is securely clamped in between the bars 6 72 the inner surfaces of which can be roughened.

I claim I Improved curtain suspender comprising in combination a wire bent so that it forms a hook at the upper end from which two arms project laterally which have eyes and which terminate in downwardly projecting arms having each a notch near the lower end, a clamping bar fixed to the ends of said downwardly projecting arms,v a second wire placed in said eyes of the first wire and bent so that it forms two downwardly projecting arms having each a notch near the lower end, a clamping bar fixed to the lower ends of said downwardly projecting arms and a shackle loosely mounted upon the suspender so that it can engage with said notches of the downwardly projecting arms, substantially as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
